Fede Alvarez Offers Alien Romulus 2 Update: “We Have Some Ideas”

In October, 20th Century Studios President of Production Steve Asbell confirmed that they were working on a follow-up to Fede Alvarez’s award-winning revitalization of the Alien franchise, but it was far from a done deal. Speaking recently to Gizmodo about the VHS release of Alien Romulus, Fede Alvarez offered a small update on the sequel.

Well, I mean, we definitely want to do it. The studio wants to do it. I want to do it. I think with sequels, it’s always about finding the right story. Me and Rodo [Sayagues], my co-writer, we have some ideas, but it’s not until we find something that we go “Ok, that is a movie worth making” that we really embark on it. So that’s the process we are in right now, trying to find a story that is worthy of everyone’s time and is worthy of the title. 

Otherwise, you never want to fall into the mistake of making [a sequel] just because the first one is a big hit … [making a sequel] just because you can make it, that’s always a recipe for disaster.

Sir Ridley Scott also revealed recently that he is developing a new Alien film, and while many took this to believe he was developing a continuation of his prequels, we believe this is just his continued involvement with Fede Alvarez and as he was with Alien Romulus, Scott is working once again alongside Alvarez on Alien Romulus 2.
